It seems like every Hollywood star EVER has been attached to rumors of homosexuality … and that includes Hollywood stars that are no longer living. Hollywood legend James Dean is among the big name stars who was rumored to be gay and an upcoming new biopic film titled Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean takes on those rumors head on. Joshua Tree tells the alleged tale of Dean‘s secret romantic relationship with men. Whether true or not, I’m sure there is a segment of the movie going population that is terribly intrigued by the notion of James Dean being gay. Click below to read more deets about this upcoming biopic film and check out the film’s trailer in full.



There has always been speculation as to what was the true sexuality of Hollywood legend James Dean. But now a film about the star will take a very specific stance on his personal life. Upcoming biopic Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean, includes scenes that depict the actor having sexual encounters with a series of men. One scene shows the character of Dean making love to his male roommate in a corridor. He is also seen in the movie indulging in a tryst with another male character, this time on top of a mountain. Dean is played by relatively unknown actor James Preston, who is most famous for his role as werewolf Lukas Ford in supernatural TV drama The Gates. Also starring in the movie is Robert Gant of Queer as Folk fame, The L Word star Erin Daniels and Walk The Line actress Clare Grant. The film, which is due to be released in the summer, claims that it ‘redefines’ James Dean ‘for a new generation’, according to its website. It is not the first tribute to suggest Dean was gay. Dean’s first biographer and close friend William Bast stated that the pair had a intimate relationship. He was also described as a homosexual by screenwriter Gavin Lambert and Nicholas Ray, who directed Dean’s most celebrated movie, Rebel Without A Cause. Dean apparently avoided being drafted into the war by registering as a homosexual, which was at the time classified as a mental disorder by the US government. However according to the book The Unabridged James Dean: His Life and Legacy from A to Z, he denied being gay. He allegedly said: ‘No, I am not a homosexual. But, I’m also not going to go through life with one hand tied behind my back.’ Dean died in a car crash in 1955, aged 24, one month before the release of Rebel Without A Cause.



Aside from the obvious fantasies, I think many gays would love to believe that James Dean was gay because they would be able to see some of themselves in one of the most famous stars in the history of Hollywood. Everyone wants to feel accepted and, as screwed up as it may sound, many of us get validation when we see parts of ourselves in famous or powerful people. Minorities tend to identify with other famous minorities or people of power … and that includes gays and lesbians. I don’t think many people really understands what it means to gays (young gays, especially) when a famous person comes out of the closet. Firstly, young gays may not feel so alone if they learn that other very successful people are gay as well. Secondly, young gays have role models that they can look up to in order to emulate them (everybody does this … whether they look up to celebs, sports stars, politicians, authors, artists, their parents … everyone has role models). Whether or not James Dean was gay, I can understand the desire for some people to believe that he was. It remains to be seen how this film will do but I’m very curious to see how it is received by the movie-going audience as a whole.
